Frequently Asked Questions - PP5002 Home Electric

How do I attach the lid handle?

Mount the supplied lid handle onto the glass lid as shown in the diagram on page 14 of the manual. Ensure it is securely fastened before use.

What should I do before first use?

Clean the glass lid and heating surface with a damp cloth, dry thoroughly. Then rub a thin layer of cooking oil onto the non-stick surface and preheat for 5-10 minutes.

How do I select the right temperature?

Use the temperature dial: MIN for keeping warm, setting 2 (100-150°C) for frying, 3-4 (150-200°C) for eggs or pancakes, 5 (240°C) for pizza. Refer to the table in the manual.

Can I use metal utensils on the cooking surface?

No, metal utensils can damage the non-stick coating. Use heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils instead.

• Carefully take the device and its accessories out of the packaging. Retain the packaging in case you would like to store the device away or transport it at a later date. If you choose to dispose of the packaging, then please do so according to the applicable legal regulations.
• Check the packaging contents for completeness and damages. Should the contents in the packaging not be complete or be damaged, do not use the device. Return it to your retail outlet immediately.
• Mount the supplied lid handle (1) onto the glass lid (5) as portrayed in the figure on page 14.
• Prior to first use, clean the glass lid (5) and the heating surface (12) with a damp cloth. Then dry off all parts thoroughly.
• Place this device on a solid, even and heat resistant surface. There should be a minimum distance of at least 15 cm all around the device. Keep easily flammable materials (e.g. curtains, textiles, walls) away from this device.

Turning on the device

• Before inserting the thermostat, make sure that the temperature control dial (11) is on OFF. Then connect the thermostat to the socket (7).
• When inserting the thermostat, make sure that it is properly connected to the device. The temperature control dial (11) should be facing upwards. An incorrectly inserted thermostat can result in personal injury or damages to the device.
• Connect the power plug (9) to a suitable power outlet.
• Set the temperature control dial (11) to the desired temperature. Use the following table to select the appropriate temperature.

Setting Temperature Use
MIN, 1 lowest temperature Keep food warm
2 approx. 100-150°C Fry food
3, 4 approx. 150-200°C e.g. scrambled eggs, pancakes,	ham, smoked meat
5 approx. 240°C Pizza
OFF Heating function is turned off -

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Warning: Even when the temperature control dial (11) is on OFF, the pan could still remain very hot for a longer period of time. Always let the device cool down completely after use.
  • The device is pre-heated when the red indicator light (10) on the thermostat goes out.
• As soon as the temperature of the device is lower than the selected temperature, the thermostat turns on automatically and the red indicator light (10) goes on again. That way the temperature will be held constant. During operation, the indicator light (10) will periodically go on and off.

Operating the device

• Rub a little cooking oil onto the non-stick coated heating surface (12) before using it. Only put a thin layer of cooking oil on the heating surface.
• Pre-heat the pan for approx. 5-10 minutes. When the indicator light (10) goes out, then the pan is ready for use. While the pan is heating up, you can prepare the ingredients.
• The cooking time is dependent on the type of food, the amount as well as on your personal taste.
• Caution! Danger of burning: This device becomes very hot during use. In order to prevent hand burns caused by accidentally touching the hot surfaces, using pot holders or something similar is recommended.
• Once the food is cooked, it can also be kept hot. To do this, turn the temperature control dial (11) to MIN.
• Note: If noises (from the heating spiral/heating surface) can be heard during use, this is no reason for concern and does not mean the pan is defective.
  • Use the glass lid (5) to steam food.
• Caution: When lifting the glass lid (5) off of the pan, hot steam could be emitted. Therefore always lift the lid (5) slowly and carefully. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance.
• The heating surface (12) is non-stick coated and should thus never come into contact with metal cooking utensils. Metal utensils could damage the non-stick coating. Use utensils made of heat-resistant plastic or wood to turn and mix the food.
• After using the pan, turn the temperature control dial (11) to OFF and pull the power plug (9) out of the power outlet.
• Let the device cool down sufficiently in a location that is safely out of reach of children.
• Wait until the pan is completely cooled down before disconnecting the thermostat from the socket (7).
• Then clean the pan as described in the section CLEANING AND CARE.
